Hello!  Thank you for taking a minute to check out my website.  I’m so glad you’re here.

I have a new book, A Wedding Homerun in Loveland, Ohio, releasing in August 2012. If you haven’t had a chance to look it over, please do.

Thanks, too, to all the women who have been kind enough to send encouraging words about BEADED HOPE.

It’s been wonderful and humbling to hear not only from ladies in my hometown, but also from women as far away as Oregon, Canada, Australia, the UK and Cape Town, too.  Women who have laughed and cried with the characters in BEADED HOPE, and have suggested it for their book clubs.  And many women who are now praying for the ladies in South Africa in hopes they will continue to be able to put bread on their tables through the real Beaded Hope organization, the non-profit that inspired my book.

This heartfelt response is one of the reasons I love writing about women and girlfriends so much. (Oh, trust me, I love writing about hunky heroes too – especially heroes in denial about a captivating lady who has their hearts on fire!)  But trial after trial and joy upon joy, women are there for each other.  Celebrating the good.  Encouraging through the not so good.  Connecting with each other through common hopes and dreams – no matter where, no matter what.

So thank you again for your caring and sharing!  It’s much appreciated here at home ~ and across the globe too.

Hugs and blessings to you.

"In BEADED HOPE, character development is strong, and the reader will be deeply touched on an emotional level. The amazing spirit of the women shines through the darkness."
